Call for Papers for the Sixth ESEH Conference
Call for Papers for the Sixth ESEH Conference
The European Society for Environmental History is pleased to invite
proposals for sessions, papers and posters for its next international
conference to be held Turku University and Åbo Akademi University,
Finland, from 28 June to 2 July 2011.
Home to Europe’s largest archipelago and Turku’s location on the
Baltic Sea has inspired the main theme of the conference, “Encounters
of Sea and Land”. We encourage proposals that explore this theme from
multiple perspectives of environmental history, such as:
* The emergence of environmental crises of the seas
* Phases of conservation of inland waters, seas, and coasts
* Historical perspectives on marine biodiversity
* History of whaling, fishing and overfishing
* Exploitation of marine resources such as water, gas, oil, seaweeds
* History of marine pollution including material flows from land
to sea
* History of maritime mobility
* Development of catchment areas as environmental and
socio-economic systems
* Environmental history of urban coastal areas
* Landscapes and seascapes: changes in the environment and
interpretations
* Islands and archipelagos as natural habitats and social communities
However, contributions on other topics are equally welcome. Potential
fields include, but are not limited to:
* Reconstruction of historical weather and climate, and adaptation
to climate changes in the past
* Environmental history of the Arctic and polar regions
* Development of environmental movements
* Dimensions of forest history
* Urban environmental history
* History of man-animal relationship, food supply and biodiversity
* Industrial environmental history
* Production, consumption and waste: commodity chains in
environmental history
* Cultural values and economic interests: retrospective
environmental analyses
* Theories and methods in environmental history
The conference covers all periods and all areas of the globe. In
keeping with a cherished tradition of the field, the conference is
open to scholars from all disciplines and backgrounds. We encourage
submissions from graduate students. The conference language is
English; no submissions in other languages will be accepted.
The deadline for submissions is May 3, 2010.
